About 25 people demonstrated in front of Nail Expo, 17852 S. Halsted St. in Homewood, starting at 11 a.m. Friday to protest what they said was disrespectful treatment of a young Black woman by a store employee and inadequate response to the situation by Homewood police.
What started the conflict was an apparent misunderstanding between a customer and a nail technician on Monday that escalated into a confrontation. There are conflicting accounts of what happened during the incident.
